PERsoNAL.-Mr. r. VIM. Barton, of
the Times Democrat staff, gave our
Office a pleasant call ON Thursday morn
ling last. He has been spending several
days in our parish looking after the in
terests of his journal, and being a man
of genial manners and fine business ca
pacity will not only extend the circula-
tion of the I'D, but make many per-
sonal friends with our people.
Mr.. Homere Barrousse, the enterpris-
ing young merchant of Church Point
was in town on last Wednesday. He
reports the crops good and well ad-
vanced in his section, but needing rain
to give them vigorous growth, and to
bring up cotton lately planted.
Mr.. FL. E. Estorge has gone to New
Orleans to attend the marriage of his
brother, Jos. E. Estorge, which will
take place in that city next week.
Ex-senator Fontenot was in town on
Thursday, and gave us q pleasant call.
Notwithstanding the fact that the two
first fingers of his right hand have been
amputated, the ex-senator writes as
pretty and legible hand as before the
distressing accident which necessitated
that painful surgical operation.

A striking illustration of the high
esteem and respect in which Judge
Hudspeth was held by this community
was afforded In the fact that on the

lishment in the town was closed. In
thus honoring the memory of a good,
just and upright man, our people have
honored themselves. May his successor,

The state'of Louisiana, through the
Attorney General, has brought suit
against that giant monopoly-the Amer

further operations in Louisiana on the
grounds of its being a fraudulent con
Germ, with no domicile in the State,
paying no taxes on property in the
State, and of depressing the price OF
cotton seed products and running other

hope the injunction will be perpetuated

The discussions in the English Par
lament on the Irish Coercion Bill are
becoming very heated and stormy.
The opponents of Parnell, leader of the
Irish Land League in the House OF
Commons, now charge him with writ
ing letter that duplicates him with
dynamiters and Fenianism. Parnell
pronounces the letter forgery and
denies ever uttering or writing any.
thing of the kind contained in it. His
colleagues aud followers denounce the
letter as q base scheme to further the
passage of the Coercion Bill, which
will, if made law, disrupt the English
government and strengthen the Irish
cause at home and abroad.
